Since W/L is no longer factored, SOS/efficiencies will run the show. And guess who has a built-in mechanical advantage to play strong SOSs based on league affiliation, and infinite buy-games to pad efficiencies?
Sure feels like the NCAA is on the path to developing a ranking where the finish line is the starting point. From there, back-fill it with a mathematical model to substantiate the grades.
Name any other sport where rankings or championships are at play and winning/losing is entirely irrelevant. I cant think of one.
